Looks like the part number for the Triangle is 6770487, 71-60-6-770-487 if you look at GetBMWparts.com. Was that the part you were looking for? The Tow hook (Called Towing Hinge) is 72-15-7-953-897

The Trunk Lid Trim Bracket, so neither of those. However that was enough info for me to find the right part number so thank you. 71-60-770-487 had following note: "Warning Triangle. Bracket sold separately - 51-49-7-167-548"

Trunk Lid Trim Bracket 51-49-7-167-548.

Funny. In the getBMWparts.com website it just looks like a box. No actual picture of the bracket.

I like that…it’s more compact than my BMW branded triangle that fits in a gray vinyl sleeve. I keep mine under the trunk floor with the spare and other miscellaneous items.

Why the fire extinguisher? Have you ever needed it? In 40 years of driving I can’t think of one instance I needed one, other than seeing some track cars having them mounted in the passenger foot well.

Good to be prepared. Hopefully you’ll never need it again.

I also just ordered BimmerUtility and their Enet WIFI adapter. hehe

That BimmerUtility was a pain for me until I saw where to add the license code on the iPhone app (beware). I had the OBD adapter and also an ethernet to lighting port adapter but... surprise my iPhone does not have the lightning port anymore. Luckily, I also had an ethernet to mini USB adapter.

That's right - they were too long. I think they are made for the long wheelbase version of the car that is sold in the Chinese market. I'm guessing the rear doors on that model are a little longer than on the "normal" wheelbase version of the car sold in most other markets.

Do any of you have the center armrest storage compartment illuminated? Because unless my eyes are playing games with me I saw some photos around with a light there. Mine for sure does not unless I am missing something.

Will this wheel lock set fit my G60 540 or which is the corect PN?

He does not seem to have the set of 4 with the carbon look anymore now.

My center console is illuminated. There is a small LED to the rear of the compartment. See the picture below.

When I go to the link I sent you above, it shows that there are still 13 carbon fiber pieces remaining. I took a screenshot, see below.

Edit: I just re-read your message and you are right - the four pieces are not available but you may be able to find them from another seller.

SkykingUSA thanks for the clarification with the light, I will check on mine but I don't remember seeing it and I looked a few times.

Regarding the pads, I was referring to the 4 pcs kit, you looked at the 2 pcs one.

SkykingUSA take a look below, no light in the storage compartment from the central armrest for the 540i. That small thing that you see there is for pulling the bottom liner out.

My G60 540 has the LED light inside the center armrest. Similar to what my F10 and G30 had before.

I'm pretty sure it does. But I'll look later when I get back in my car. it might have been there for 2024, but was done away with for 2025? Either that or the ICE models don't have it.
